(2/10/05) - The Mean Green softball team looks for its first win of the season when it competes in the UTSA Fastpitch Express Classic this weekend, beginning with a Friday morning game against Centenary.

North Texas lost to nationally-ranked Texas A&M, 8-0, in its season opener last Friday. The Mean Green put itself in a hole early, allowing the first four batters to get on base. A three-run homer cleared the bases and gave Texas A&M a 4-0 lead after the first inning.

"Our pitch selection wasn’t where it needed to be," said head coach Kelly Burns. "We were letting strikes go by. We have been working on being more aggressive at the plate early in the count at practice this week."

Burns is also working with her team on being more mentally tough.

"We have to control the controllables," said Burns. "After something happens, it’s over and done. We have to learn from it and move on. We are going to play these upcoming games one pitch at a time."

The UTSA Fastpitch Classic Express consists of four teams: Centenary, Texas-San Antonio, Texas-El Paso and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Texas A&M-CC is the only team in the tournament to start the season with a winning record at 4-0. Centenary won its first game of the season against Southern Arkansas after dropping its first six games. UTSA lost two games to Texas A&M on Wednesday night and dropped to 0-5 this season, while UTEP is currently at 0-5.
